Product Description
POWERSTROKE PRODUCTS PP-CAMPKG6.0 6.0 CAM PACKAGE (INCLUDES CAM, SPRINGS, PUSHRODS, LIFTERS)
Upgrade your 6.0L Powerstroke with the POWERSTROKE PRODUCTS PP-CAMPKG6.0 6.0 CAM PACKAGE – a complete, matched valvetrain kit engineered for trucks that work hard, tow heavy, and still need to rip when you put your foot down. This package combines a performance camshaft, heavy-duty valve springs, 4340 chromoly pushrods, and high-quality lifters to deliver better throttle response, stronger mid-range, and improved high-RPM stability without sacrificing reliability.
Designed around the proven 6.0L Powerstroke platform, this kit is ideal for fresh engine builds, bulletproofing jobs, and serious tow rigs that need control over the valvetrain at higher boost and RPM. The performance camshaft (typically Stage 1 176/196 profile in most builds) works with 100 lb heavy-duty springs and thick-wall pushrods to reduce valve float, improve turbo spool-up, and help keep EGTs in check under load.
If you’re tired of leaving power on the table with a stock cam and tired valvetrain components, the POWERSTROKE PRODUCTS PP-CAMPKG6.0 gives you the parts you actually need to do the cam swap once, do it right, and support future upgrades like larger injectors, more aggressive tuning, and bigger turbos.
Key Features & Benefits
- Complete 6.0L cam package – includes camshaft, heavy-duty valve springs, chromoly pushrods, and lifters for a one-box valvetrain solution.

- Engine build compatibility: Often used in 6.0L and select 6.4L Powerstroke performance builds when proper clearances and component compatibility are confirmed.
Installation should be performed by an experienced diesel engine builder familiar with camshaft degreeing, piston-to-valve clearance checks, and proper lifter preload setup.
What’s Included
- Performance camshaft – typically a Stage 1-style grind for 6.0L Powerstroke applications (176/196 duration cam commonly used in HD cam packages).
- Set of heavy-duty valve springs – approximately 100 lb seat pressure for improved control at higher RPM and boost.
- Set of thick-wall chromoly pushrods – designed to minimize deflection under high cylinder pressure.
- Complete lifter set – 16 high-quality hydraulic roller lifters matched for the cam swap.
- Powerstroke-focused engineering – components designed to work together as a system on 6.0L valvetrain builds.
Exact cam profile and sub-component brands may vary based on the latest POWERSTROKE PRODUCTS build specification. Always refer to your invoice or included documentation for the current cam card and spring data for your specific kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need piston fly-cutting or valve reliefs with this cam package?
In most 6.0L builds using a typical Stage 1-style camshaft and proper setup, fly-cutting is not required. However, every build is different. You must verify piston-to-valve clearance during mock-up, especially on engines with milled heads, thicker head gaskets, aftermarket pistons, or non-OEM valve sizes.
Is the PP-CAMPKG6.0 kit compatible with both 6.0L and 6.4L Powerstroke engines?
This package is sold and supported primarily for the 6.0L Powerstroke platform. Many builders also use these components in 6.4L valvetrain combinations, but that requires professional verification of clearances, proper pushrod length, and overall setup. If you are building a 6.4L, consult your engine builder before ordering.
Which camshaft “stage” is included in the PP-CAMPKG6.0 package?
The PP-CAMPKG6.0 kit is commonly configured around a Stage 1-style camshaft profile designed for towing, drivability, and improved turbo response. Exact grind can vary based on current POWERSTROKE PRODUCTS packaging, so always review the cam card included with your kit or contact CPP Diesel for the latest spec information.
What supporting upgrades are recommended with this cam package?
At minimum, you should plan on fresh OEM-quality or better valvetrain hardware, quality head gaskets and head fasteners, and updated tuning. For more serious builds, pairing the PP-CAMPKG6.0 with upgraded cylinder heads, stronger head studs, improved turbocharging, and proper fueling will help you take full advantage of the cam and valvetrain capabilities.
What kind of drivability can I expect with the PP-CAMPKG6.0 cam package?
With a Stage 1-style cam, most trucks retain excellent street manners while gaining better low- and mid-range torque, faster turbo spool, and improved high-RPM stability. It is well-suited for daily drivers and tow rigs when paired with quality tuning and supporting mods.
What warranty does POWERSTROKE PRODUCTS provide on this package?
The PP-CAMPKG6.0 package is backed by a 1-year unlimited mileage warranty from Powerstroke Products when properly installed in a correct application and used under normal operating conditions. Keep proof of purchase and follow all recommended installation and lubrication procedures to protect your investment.
